CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

The present application is a continuation-in-part of and claims priority to and benefit from the following patent applications each of which are hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety: U.S. Non-Provisional patent application Ser. No. 15/729,062 filed Oct. 10, 2017, entitled “Dual Nozzle Spray Gun,” which is a divisional of U.S. Non-Provisional patent application Ser. No. 15/042,360 filed Feb. 12, 2016, entitled “Dual Nozzle Spray Gun” (now issued as U.S. Pat. No. 9,814,227 on Nov. 13, 2017).

BACKGROUND

The present disclosure relates generally to a fluid spray apparatus. More particularly, the present disclosure pertains to a fluid spray gun including multiple inlets and outlets.

Fluid spray guns are known in the art. In herbicide applications, spray guns with adjustable nozzles designed to be twisted back and forth by a user are available. A user may wish to apply herbicide to a nearby target with a fan-type pattern and to a distant target with a straight stream pattern that will break up into smaller droplets near the target. To adjust the nozzle to either setting, the user must remove his or her hand from the backpack pumping lever to twist the adjustable nozzle. This method also requires the user to make contact with parts covered in the herbicide. Furthermore, the method can become tiresome to a user, prompting the user to leave the nozzle on the straight stream pattern. If left on the straight stream pattern, the spray will over-penetrate the nearby targets and cause poor performance, environmental problems, and wasted herbicide.

Referring to the Figures, one embodiment of a fluid spray apparatus, or spray gun, 100 is shown. As can best be seen in FIG. 5 , the spray gun 100 includes an inlet 102, a first outlet 104, and a second outlet 106. The spray gun 100 optionally includes a hose attachment barb 108 on the inlet 102. The inlet 102 could alternatively include a quick-release connector, a threaded male or female coupler, and the like. The spray gun 100 may also include a first nozzle 110 disposed on the first outlet 104 and a second nozzle 112 disposed on the second outlet 106. Both first nozzle 110 and second nozzle 112 may be permanently connected or removably connected to the spray gun 100. The first and second nozzles 110, 112 may include commonly available standard spray tips that are threadedly received in the first and second outlets 104, 106 respectively. In other embodiments, the nozzles 110, 112 are retained in the outlets 104, 106 with quick-release, snap-on, latching, or other releasable attachment configurations. First nozzle 110 and second nozzle 112 may be of varying spray patterns such that the spray gun 100 may operate with any of a plurality of spray patterns. One embodiment of the spray gun 100 includes the first outlet 104 including a diffuse spray nozzle and the second outlet 106 including a solid stream nozzle. Another embodiment of the spray gun 100 includes at least one of the first outlet 104 and second outlet 106 including an adjustable spray nozzle.

In an embodiment, a first actuator 114 is configured to communicate the inlet 102 with at least one of the outlets 104, 106 such that communication is prevented when the first actuator is unactuated. A second actuator 116 is also configured to communicate the inlet 102 with at least one of the outlets 104, 106 such that communication is prevented when the second actuator is unactuated. Each actuator 114, 116 may actuate valves 115 that are normally biased toward the closed position by springs 117. Each valve 115 may be accessible for replacement or repair by removing a spring retainer plug 119 with common tools, including, but not limited to, a hex key. The actuators 114, 116 may be hingedly connected to the handle 118 such that the actuators include triggers. In some embodiments, the handle 118 may be a pistol grip handle. The actuators 114, 116 may be aligned with each other and opposingly disposed on the handle 118. The actuators 114, 116 may be configured such that the first actuator 114 may be actuated with the index finger and middle finger of a user and the second actuator 116 may be actuated with the ring finger and little finger of the user. Each actuator 114, 116 may include a hinge end 120 and a free end 122. The free ends 122 of the actuators 114, 116 may be nearer each other than the hinge ends 120.

The handle 118 of the spray apparatus may, in some embodiments, include guide channels 123 configured to receive a portion of a respective trigger/actuator 114, 116. The guide channels 123, in conjunction with the curved free ends 122 of the triggers 114, 116, may prevent pinching a user's fingers when one or more of the triggers are actuated. In at least one embodiment, the trigger free ends 122 remain in contact with each other during actuation. The channels 123 also may function to prevent over-actuation of the actuators 114, 116. The channels 123 may further function to hold the actuators in close readiness to the valve assembly.

In some embodiments, the handle 118 is angled from the spray direction of the nozzles 110, 112 such that the handle and the spray direction of the nozzles forms an angle of between 90 and 180 degrees. More specifically, the handle 118 and the spray direction of the nozzles 110, 112 form an angle of between 90 and 120 degrees. Even more specifically, the handle 118 and the spray direction of the nozzles 110, 112 form an angle of 105 degrees. These angles may be desirable to allow for ergonomic and comfortable use for a user's wrist when holding the spray apparatus 100. Furthermore, the spray apparatus 100 may include a flat or contoured protrusion 124 extending from the handle. The protrusion 124 may be configured such that a user's hand between the thumb and index finger may rest against the protrusion to aid in supporting the weight of the spray apparatus 100. Another ergonomic feature optionally included in the spray apparatus 100 is the location of the inlet 102 at the bottom of the handle 118. This location allows for any hose attached to the hose attachment barb 108 to extend below the wrist of a user so the hose does not get in the way of the user's arm and so the weight of the hose and the spray gun 100 may be close to the user's hand.
